We are currently initiating a monitoring program on mountain north of the Andes ecosystems, would be very important for us to know other implemented experiences and results that are of particular interest to account for future comparisons.
Depending on your study objective, you may use more than one technique to band or tag hummingbirds. I have a manual for banding hummingbirds. I can sent to you by e/mail. Just let me know if this may help you.
Estimado Aquiles
El programa de anillamiento mas largo que conozco y que podria ser de tu interes es el del parque Nacional Henri Pittier en el paso Portachuelo conducido por Miguel Lentino, existen varias publicaciones al respecto aunque su enfoque principal han sido las aves migratorias. Espero que te sea de ayuda.
Saludos,
Hi Aquiles, I have been working on a ecological specialization study in Costa Rica where I collected plant-hummingbird interaction and hummingbird abundance data during one year. This year, I started a project on synchronization and specialization in plant-pollinator interactions in the páramo where again I'm mist-netting and banding hummingbirds. In Costa Rica there are a few people banding hummingbirds for some specific studies but there is not long-term monitoring experiences including banding hummingbirds that I know.
Just let me know if I can be of any help.
Saludos, Maria
Hi Aquiles; I did my dissertation on bird nectarivore networks in the central Andes of Peru from 2011 to 2014 and I am currently writing the papers on that. One group of researchers that can help you and I recommend become part of, is Hummingbird Monitoring Network (http://www.hummonnet.org/) they organize training sessions for researchers that want to learn how to monitor hummingbirds, mainly in the United States and Mexico. We organized one workshop in Cuzco, right after the Neotropical Ornithological Congress in 2011, they are eager to get contact with researchers from the neotropics. Espero haber ayudado, hasta pronto

I'd recommend contacting Dr. Dusti Becker, who has directed hummingbird monitoring efforts at multiple sites in Ecuador for a number of years. http://lifenetnature.org/index.php/contact-us/
